3 Percenters

The 3 Percenters are an American far-right paramilitary movement which pledges armed resistance against attempts on the restriction of private gun ownership. The 3 Percenters were founded on 17 December 2008, and its name was taken from the myth that only three percent of Americans took up arms during the American Revolutionary War; the real figure suggests that fifteen percent served in state militias or the Continental Army. 3 Percenters portray the US government as tyrannical, and they adhere to conservatism, right-wing libertarianism, and alt-right politics due to their support for minimized government, unrestricted gun laws, and Republican Party (especially Donald Trump) politics, as well as due to their opposition to immigration and Islam.
